So,next school year (in the Fall) I'll be the Vice Pres on the PTA board. I wasn't up for the President position, but I thought I could learn from Christina and maybe consider it in a year or 2! Hopefully things will go well. I've helped a lot with functions, fundraisers, picture day, Box tops/ rootbeer float parties etc... but this will be more of a commintment!

Friday night we went to our ward's fundraiser to help earn $ for Girl's camp/Scout camp. It was an awesome night filled with tons of great performances! Everyone did AMAZING and it was a blast to attend!

Ive been making the bunny cake for a million years, but Angie & I started doing it together years ago. For some reason, Easter kind of snuck up on us this year and we had to make them without the big kids this time (HUGE mistake!) We had fun with the little ones, but neither side were very happy with us!

All 5 kids had a dentist appointment last week, talk about a fun time! They were sooo sweet to get them all in on the same day/time too. No cavities, things looked good, Roman did super and they go back in 6 months!

I've lost track of how many of these we've attended, but they are always fun to watch! Roman loved it this year because he LOVes cars and trucks right now! Tristin came in 11th place out of 12. Good job Buddy!

My Mama always wanted to see Oprah when she was doing her show, but it never worked out. I dreamed of getting tickets for her, but sadly, all I could do was buy her magazine subscription for Christmas each year. My brother Jesse just bought tickets before they were released to the public and Mom invited me to go with her when she comes to Seattle in November! Wayhoo! Her tour- The life you want will be there the 7th & 8th, which means I get to fly home, spend a night in a hotel with Mom, see Oprah and other key note speakers for 2 days and then fly home! I get a vacation by myself! I'm thrilled Mom picked me to be her partner in crime and I'm glad I have 7 months to save for this fun event! Thanks Jesse & MOm, I can't wait!

I only had a few weeks to plan anything for moms party. In that time I was able to make & send out an invite, gather 60 letters from family & friends, make a few Queen decorations & party favors, gather pictures for 3 posters, order/fax a cake over to Washington, get time off work, pull the kids out of school a day, pack and drive over to make it for the big event!
Mom loved her present and I am SO grateful for those who took the time to make that gift happen. There was a lot of emailing, texting, calling and bugging people to get them done, but we did it and it turned out great!Besides her 6 cans of hairspray- that's my favorite gift I think I've ever given her. I love you Mom. (There's a ton more pictures, scroll to older posts to see them!)

The new and improved...

Our house

Our new house! We'll be painting the outside soon... hopefully this years taxes will be nice to us so we can get it done. We also want /need to put vinyl windows in. The aluminum ones are super fun!

My fridge!!!

I have wanted an old fridge for years, so naturally, God led me to this yard sale where I found it for $40.00. (And who says he doesn't lead me to good deals?)

My wild flowers in the kichen

Here are the flowers I painted in the kitchen. Notice my AWESOME floor (YEAH!!) and the donated floating orb from Audra (the light came out of her last house. When I saw it, I knew it would look cool somewhere in the house.

The flowers in the main bathroom

I had fun with these ones. I had to have some bright ones too!

My hot pink bathroom!

Yes, I have the greatest husband of all times. He let me have a hot pink bathroom!

My fireplace!

I HATE brick, so I painted this one white. This was the wall that had wall paper on it and then the nasty wall paniling behind it. It looks much cutier now!

Miss Daisy

I was taking pictures of the kids last week in the leaves, and loved this one of Daisy. She's my girl and SO much fun these days. We can hang out together now and it's a blast.
